Competition

Joseph E. Fischoff and the South Bend Chamber Music Society founded the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in 1973 as a way of encouraging young people to pursue chamber music study and performance. The Fischoff Competition grew from 6 ensembles in 1973 to 48 ensembles in both wind and string categories as of 2009.[3] In the competition, an average of 22 different nationalities are represented each year by foreign nationals from South America, Asia, and Europe.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The winners of the Senior Division Gold Medals also participate in the Double Gold Tour.[13]

Educational outreach programs

Fischoff's outreach and residency programs have won many awards and are highly regarded.[14][15][16][17]

Their programs also include programs from adult to young children for music.
